Translation

To Jupiter, Best and Greatest, of Doliche … [built] this temple from its foundations
for the welfare … .

Apparatus

1. Maughan read the lower part of an i after iom. 4. pro s[e R. G. C.; pro s[alvte Maughan, R. P. W. It seems more likely that the templum was erected for the welfare of the unit and not only for the commandant.

Commentary

This stone is probably to be equated with that heard of by Horsley before 1732 ‘with templvm distinctly upon it, but then broken and destroyed.’ The stone had been broken up and
used in a field-wall where Maughan found it. This breakage and destruction could well
be that described by Horsley's informant to whom the word templum was alone significant.
